Contracted: Phase II is a 2015 zombie body horror film and the sequel to the 2013 film Contracted. The movie was directed by Josh Forbes, based on a script written by Craig Walendziak, and Eric England, who wrote and directed the first film.

Synopsis

After the events in the previous film Riley (Matt Mercer) has begun showing symptoms of the same illness that caused Samantha (Najarra Townsend) to turn into a zombie. Panicking, Riley decides that he needs to track down the person who first infected Samantha, BJ (Morgan Peter Brown), in the hopes of gaining a cure.Besides showing the same symptoms as Samantha, most of the people Riley loved the most were infected by his virus, especially his grandmother, Margie, Harper and finally his pregnant sister, Brenda (at the credit scene).

On the other hand, BJ has his own agenda, as he is more than willing to continue to spread the disease to other victims. He turns out to be immune to the virus and continues to spread the virus to other victims like Samantha, and other four missing women whom he randomly selected by the street. It turns out after he had sexual intercourse with them and immediately injected the pathogen virus into their bodies before sending them home. Eventually he sent in threat tapes to the special agent as to orchestra the end of the world with zombie apocalypse.

As Riley decided to corporate with Detective Young, he eventually succumbed to the disease and was killed by B. J.,who turned up to the hospital where Harper died of seizure, to detonate a bomb to create a massive apocalypse where the victims are mostly hospitalised in. As Riley is fully transformed into a zombie, he killed B. J. before Detective Young shot him on the head.

Reception

Critical reception for Phase II has been negative and the film holds a rating of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 11 reviews.[2] Variety criticized the film, stating "Despite a couple of brief closing-credit epilogues suggesting future narrative directions, “Contracted: Phase II” feels too hurriedly conceived to expand on the original’s premise in more than perfunctory fashion."[3] Rogerebert.com panned Phase II and compared it unfavorably to its predecessor, writing that "Pointless body horror sequel "Contracted: Phase II" doesn't develop its predecessor's concepts so much as it resolves all of the questions you never needed answered."[4] In contrast The Hollywood Reporter and New York Times were more positive,[5] and the Times praised Forbe's direction and visual effects.[6]
